Would You Like Some Tortellini With Your Cheese?

"I love baked pastas and lasagna-type dishes, so I figured I'd make up my own this last winter with what was in the house. Well, before I knew it, I had more cheese than anything else! So...If you're a cheese lover, this dish is for you! :) It would be easy to "customize" though, which is what I do with many recipes. It would probably be good by cutting some cheese and adding varied veggies (some suggestions: mushrooms, spinach, squash, eggplant, and so on). Have fun, be creative, and enjoy!"

  1. What a fantastic quick dinner! This recipe easily doubled for us tonight. Tomato/Chicken hating hubby, 3 1/2 yr old, and 17 month old all cleared their plates! It was great! Recipe was very easy to follow and directions were clear. The only thing I didn't double was the thyme and the can of chicken. Thanks for another wonderful meal to add to my week night rotation!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
